Milk vs Dark Chocolate Covered Raisins
Milk or dark chocolate covered raisins: what is the real difference?
On the Raisinets labels the gap is small: dark has 14 g of total sugars per serving against 15 g for milk, and both have 110 calories. Dark still lists milk ingredients, so it is not a dairy-free swap.

Take milk chocolate if
you want the sweeter, classic movie candy and the widest choice of brands and pack sizes.
Take dark chocolate if
you like a stronger cocoa taste. Do not pick it to avoid dairy: the Raisinets dark label still lists milkfat, nonfat milk and lactose.
